- This invention relates to seats, which ma j be used for any purpose to which they are applicable, as for instance, chair seats, car

seatsahd other purposes;

The object of the invention is'to improve upon the construction of such seats and" increase their strength and durability with simplicity ofparts.

Further objects of the invention will hereinafter-appear and to these ends the invention consists of a seat for carryingout the above objects embodying the features of construction, combinations of elements-and arrangement of parts having the general mode of oneration'substantially as hereinafter fully described and claimed in this specification and shown in the accompany in%drawings, in which,

igure l'is a bottom plan view of the outer frame of the seat; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the binding rin or ortion of the frame which binds the exib e portion of theseat to the frame; Fig. 3 is a top plan View of the completed seat; Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail transverse sectional view through the frame of'the seat in process of construction; Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 with the frame completely formed, and

Fig. 6 is a transverse sectional view through. the frame 0 a completed seat substantially full size, alt, ough the frames and seats may be made ofany desired size.

Referring to the drawings A represents a suitable frame shown; in this instance as circular, although it may be of anydesired shape as sqhare, rectangular, trapezoidal, or other forms designedfor the particular purpose intended. The frame isipreferably'of sheet metal and between said frame and 'the" binding portion or ring B of sheet metal, the body portion 0 of the seat is firmly locked or secured without the use of rivets and without projectin points which are liable to tear the flexi'b e structure of the seat.

' As shown, the main frame portion Acomprises a piece of sheet metal having the portion of the frame. The binding portion B co'mprises apiece of metal adapted to cooperate with the frame A and provided with- :agroove G adapted to fit over the rolled rim of'the frame. The inner edge H of the binding portion 3 preferably extends inwardly'beyond the 11 per edge of the upper portion A and is a so preferably'curved as shown in order to prevent the edge fromcutting into the material of the seat. The main portion I of the binding frame B is adapted to be seated in the groove E of the main frame as shown in Fig. 4..

In constructing the seat the flexible bot tom G, which may be cane wicker-work or rolled edge F of the main body and along the groove E andup the inside of the flange D. The binding frame B is then placed with the groove G over the rolled edge F as.

down or folded over the' main porticn'I of the binding frame as shown in Figs. 5 and6, thereby securely locking the material for the bottom in the frame.

Obviously some features of this invention maybe used without others andthe invention may haembodied in forms.

to the devices shown and ?described, and jwlthout enumerating equivalents, we clann= following frame having an inner rolled edge, a binding frame having a groove c'o'iiperating with sald rolled edge, and a flexible seat bottom having its edge drawn over the rolled 'ed of the main frame and secured between said main frame and the binding frame.
